The US Consulate maintains it will see a record admission of Indian students <\/strong>this year. As per information accessed by TOI, 14,694 Indian student visas ( F1 visas)<\/strong> were given between January and 14th May 2022 this year across the five consulates<\/strong> in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the biggest number of visas were given from New Delhi (8,021<\/strong>), this figure was followed by Mumbai (2,589<\/strong>) and Hyderabad (1,947<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, in the same time frame between January and May, 5,663 student visas <\/strong>were given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highest issuance then was from Mumbai (1,514<\/strong>) followed by New Delhi (1,465<\/strong>) and Chennai (1,290<\/strong>). The figures demonstrate an increment of new student visas<\/strong> by almost multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In spite of Covid-19 disruptions, the US Embassy and Consulates in India handled over 1.2 lakh student visa applications<\/strong> in 2021. There has not been a decrease in slots. In fact, we are expecting another record-breaking student visa season, so we have opened a large number of extra visa appointments<\/strong> and extended interview waiver programs for students,” said a US Consulate representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 14,600 Indian student visas were issued<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Consulate takes note that numbers will rise particularly for Hyderabad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In spite of those difficult circumstances (during the pandemic<\/strong>). The US Consulate General in Hyderabad did not close for even one day. Over time, we will get back to pre-pandemic staffing<\/strong> and, plan to increment staffing after we will move to the new consulate building one year from now,” a representative said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, the Minister-counsellor for consular affairs at the US consulate<\/strong> in Delhi. Donald L Heflin informed students that the best chance for them to get their visas approved<\/strong>. It was to get through the first interview as the chances of second and third interviews<\/strong> were bleak. The minister, however, assured that students shall get more opportunities in the current year, reports said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, US authorities <\/strong>plan to give more student visas than last year’s record which stood at 62,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The F1 visa,<\/strong> also called the Academic Student Visa<\/strong>, is mostly utilized by students. Who wish to attend an accredited college, university, high school, or any other academic institution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
